    Just the kit mate, I bought them as I thought they would come in handy for customs but I don't have the time.
    They were only £13 each before shipping but seem to be a bit rare and upwards of £38 on ebay, cheapest I can see Takara Tomy Zoids HMM 032 Liger Zero Panzer Unit for HMM 022 1/72 Model Kit | eBay

    £20 all in each? They haven't been posted yet and I think AE is closed for a week atm

    Sorry mate, I was curious about the zoid more than the kit. I wouldn't have much use for the kit alone, looks cool though.

    Am at AA, but have journeyed far to the Airport for food. Anyway, what are we doing for meetup? FMH are doing a meetup at 2:30, are we doing something similar? Because I'd like to meet up with you fellas.

    Nearly finished stripping Huffers blue grey, not that I had to do much work. He's feeling somewhat exposed.

    Are you repainting him, or did you get those repro labels. Mines fine but I don't know how much time it takes to start flaking.

    Fmh meeting taking place now.

    No rare jap stuff at all, toy fu is fairly sparce this year which is sad.

    Also acid storm ain't cheap here... £95 is rather expensive.

    I do have the MMC stag cleavers set however they are great!

    I will be re painting. Thinking of using enamel paints so it won't go anywhere ever again. You might think its fine, just run your nail over any of that paint and I pretty much guarantee some will come right off. I don't think they cleaned them out the moulds so the paints got nothing to grip to

    Yeah, hotel restaurant/bar at 3:00. We'll take a table and have a natter.

    BTW I am a short Chinese fella in a sleeveless green top, shorts and hairband. No joke.

    I think i'll wait till it wears rather than scraping my nails on it.....:lol .....don't need to make work, since he just sits with my MP figures, and he's rarely going to get handled.

    No of course lol but just saying that's the level of durability. I rarely handle my transformers but when I do I like to know the paint won't fall off =P
